Introducing Pillars of Creation 2026

Deconstruction of flavour. A collision of Ireland’s new wave. 🥃✨

Today, we peeling back the layers on a monumental double-drop that showcases exactly what happens when you marry the distinct DNA on some of the most exciting distilleries on the island: (Co. Waterford) and Lough Gill Distillery (Co. Sligo).

Let’s break down the liquid geekery behind Pillars of Creation (2026 Vintage) and The Lost Chapters (Ch. 1):

🔬 THE DECONSTRUCTION:

The Component Split: A deliberate 60/40 marriage of Single Pot Still spirit and exceptional Single Malt.

The Provenance: The Single Pot Still brings that heavy, unmistakable Irish spice from the south coast at Blackwater, with dank leather notes, while the pristine Single Malt adds a lifted, mineral freshness and fruity backbone from the northwest at Lough Gill.

The Cask Artistry: Before coming together, the SPS drew full Oloroso sherry cask influence, while the single malt drew a full American Bourbon 1st fill. We then married them for an additional 8 weeks in a fresh 500L Cream Sherry Butt direct from Jerez.

🔥 THE SENSORY PROFILE:

Nose: Deep, dark, and complex. Think dried cherries, cola sweets, raisins, and a soft, honeyed nuttiness from the Sherry influence.

Palate: It hits with that rich pot still punch—ginger, leather dankness, and caramelized apples, balanced perfectly by the crisp, precise fruit notes of the single malt.

Finish: A beautifully weighted, cask-strength finish at 58.5% ABV, leaving lingering notes of salted chocolate and deep sherry dryness.

Whether you’re eyeing the Pillars of Creation (350 bottles total) or diving into the artistic depths of The Lost Chapters Ch.1, this release is a testament to what collaborative Irish bonding is all about.

Pillars of Creation 2026: Behind the Blend.

This year started with two exceptional casks chosen for completely different reasons.

G.I Single Pot Still from , Co. Waterford, fully matured in Oloroso Sherry Cask BLA0009 - rich, oily leather and full of dark fruit depth. (40% compostion)

Single Malt from Lough Gill Distillery, Cask TS0042, Co. Sligo, a bright orchard fruit and sweet vanilla, fully matured in first-fill bourbon cask. (60% composition)

A classic Pot Still and Malt marriage. 60/40
Finished together for 8 weeks in a 500L Cream Sherry Butt to bring the final layer into place.

Hidden within the 2026 blend is another great story.
The inagural Lost Chapters bottling, deconstructing Pillars of Creation back into its original elements, revealing the individual casks before experiencing the whiskey as one complete composition.

Sometimes the whole really is greater than the sum of its parts.

Bottled at Cask Strength

That moment when the blend finally speaks back to you. 🥃

We spent months chasing this blend.

Page after page in the notebook.

Casks sampled late into the Day.

Ideas circled, crossed out, rebuilt from scratch.

There's always easier ways to do it, but Pillars of Creation was never meant to be easy.

We wanted to create something that genuinely reflected the people and distilleries pushing Irish whiskey forward. Micil. Boann. Di**le. Echlinville. Killowen and many more...

Different styles, different stories, brought together with purpose.

Some casks made it. Most didn’t.

This reel captures a small part of that process — the obsession, the doubt, the excitement of finally finding “it”.

No scripts. No shortcuts.

Just Liam Brogan & Shane McCarthy in the blending room doing what we enjoy most, experimenting, arguing over percentages, and building the next Pillars of Creation 🥃

2026 is coming… this one’s worth the wait.

Keep it simple. Let the whiskey talk.

Our Double Barrel Single Grain: recently crowned Ireland’s Best Single Grain at the World Whiskey Awards, this doesn’t need much dressing up.

Just ice.
Fresh soda or ginger ale.
A bright garnish : citrus, apple, or whatever’s in reach.
Clean, crisp, and built for the highball.
This is how we drink it. 🥃

PILLARS OF CREATION 2026 🜁

Some distillery stories never fully get the chance to get written. Yet, they manage to get rediscovered...

This year’s Pillars of creation chapter carries something pretty damn rare, a lost element within the blend. A distillery that changed hands, shifted course, and quietly slipped from the spotlight… yet its spirit lives on.

We’ve taken that forgotten thread and woven it back into the fabric.

A meeting of worlds:
Old and new.
Lost and found.
Precision and creativity.
Carefully brought together with the unmistakable touch of - layered, intentional, and unapologetically complex.

This is a purposeful reconstruction.
A glimpse into what was… and a little bit of what could have been.

Looks like fruit. Drinks like Irish whiskey.

Apricot Brandy Cask finish bringing soft sweetness, sharp character, and zero compromise.

If summer had a dram, this would be it.

We’ve been working away on this one for quite some time, so we’re proud to finally share it properly.

Our Single Pot Still – Triple Sherry Cask release brings together everything we love about the style. A traditional mash bill of malted and unmalted barley, distilled for balance and depth, then layered through a trio of sherry casks (Oloroso, Amontillado & PX) to build richness, spice, and dried fruit character.

This is Irish whiskey in its purest form, oily, textural, and full of life - and now fully reimagined in our can format for wherever the moment takes you. No shortcuts, no compromise, just Irish single pot still whiskey done right.

Built for sipping, sharing, and discovering something new each time.
